Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a drive train including an internal combustion engine (“ICE”) coupled to a transmission having an opening, and, more particularly, concerns an electric motor and transfer device coupling the electric motor to the transmission via the opening, enabling the electric motor to selectively power the drive train during at least certain intervals when the ICE is powered off.
  • ICE internal combustion engine
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,269,713 discloses the addition of a conventional power takeoff (“PTO") device to a passenger vehicle in order to take power out of the vehicle's ICE for "inching.”
  • PTO power takeoff
  • Ohke further discloses the addition of a hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor and secondary transmission coupled to the vehicle's conventional transmission output shaft in order to return power from the PTO for moving the vehicle in the inching mode. While this arrangement does not require replacement of the vehicle's original transmission, it has other disadvantages, not the least of which is that the ICE operates full-time in order to supply power to the PTO for inching. Also, power losses through the hydraulic pump, hydraulic motor and secondary transmission are substantial. Referring to prior art FIG.
  • a transmission 122 has a case 127 defining a port 124, which is covered by a removable access plate 121.
  • Internal combustion engine (“ICE") crankshaft 110 connects to transmission input shaft 125 via clutch 120.
  • ICE is coupled via crankshaft 110 to a drive train that includes clutch 120 coupled to input 125 of transmission 122.
  • Transmission 122 has a transfer gear 130 coupled to input shaft 125.
  • a conventional power takeoff (“PTO") 140 which is a type of transfer device, has a case 142 defining an opening that matches port 124.
  • Case 142 is adapted for bolting to transmission case 127 so as to align case 142 with port 124 so that gear 141 of PTO 140 engages gear 130 of transmission 122, as is conventional. This arrangement conventionally enables takeoff of power from ICE crank shaft 110 via PTO shaft 143.
  • Jedrzykowski also discloses the use of a PTO for very slow speed operation.
  • the application is for a tractor and the slow speed operation is referred to as "creeping.”
  • the tractor's clutch is disengaged for the creeping mode of operation and the PTO is used to put power into its transmission shaft from an externally mounted electric motor.
  • the electric motor is energized by a generator that is, in turn, driven by the tractor's ICE.
  • Jedrzykowski' s disclosure only addresses a limited set of obstacles with regard to the present problem and also has the disadvantage that operation of the ICE ultimately supplies the power for creeping, so that the ICE must operate full time.
  • the need is especially acute for hauling large loads by heavy duty, tractor-trailer trucks, particularly in situations such as in heavy traffic or around staging areas, where movement may be sporadic or relatively slow.
  • a system includes a drive train with an internal combustion engine (“ICE") coupled to a transmission having a power takeoff port.
  • a transfer device couples an electric motor to the transmission via the port.
  • the electric motor is enabled in a certain configuration of the system to selectively power the drive train during at least certain intervals when the ICE is powered off.
  • the system includes a source device for supplying power to the electric motor.

With contacts MCl made, the 144 VDC supply is coupled to terminal CP via a 1000 ohm, 20 watt resistor R and this precharges internal controls of controller 406 coupled to terminal CP. This precharging is helpful for providing a quick response by controller 406 to action of variable resistor FTR, but does not provide enough current to fully operate controller 406.

Conversely, energizing the release coil R causes actuator 412 to retract, thereby driving the clutch pedal toward a released- pedal position in which clutch 120 engages crank shaft 110 to transmission input shaft 125.

  • FIG. 5 allows freedom for conventional movement of links 520 and 522 for conventional clutch pedal 510 operation of clutch 120 without extending or retracting shaft 542 of actuator 412, which has been added to the conventional linkage between clutch 120 and clutch pedal 510. That is, cup 540 captures coupling 538 loosely enough to permit this freedom of conventional movement but tightly enough so that shaft 542 remains engaged with coupling 538 throughout the range of conventional motion of clutch pedal 510 and the corresponding range of motion of coupling 538. Also, this maintained engagement enables actuator 412 to provide an alternative means for disengaging and reengaging clutch 120. For disengaging, actuator 412 drives link 522 in disengaging motion 534 by extending shaft 542.

Thus, contacts Cl make responsive to relay C picking up and this energizes the depress coil D and causes actuator 412 to drive toward the fully extended position, provided that clutch actuator 412 is not fully extended so that limit switch 416 CD is closed. Once actuator 412 reaches the fully extended position, limit switch 416 CD opens and actuator 412 depress coil D responsively drops out.

In summary, responsive to the driver depressing the vehicle's conventional foot throttle, if the steering wheel of the vehicle is turned left or right beyond certain limits, auxiliary hydraulic pump motor 358 turns on to provide more hydraulic fluid pressure for operation of the vehicle's conventional steering system.
  • FIG. 4 there are three different voltage system, 12 VDC, which is a conventional ICE starter voltage system, 144 VDC and 24 VDC. Higher voltage systems are desirable for providing larger power delivery at relatively lower current.

For example, it is desirable not to route voltages above 12 VDC in the cabin of a vehicle.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un train d'entraînement qui comprend un moteur à combustion interne couplé à une transmission dotée d'un orifice de prise de force. La prise de force permet à un organe de transfert d'accoupler un moteur électrique à la transmission. Dans une certaine configuration, le moteur électrique est activé pour assurer de manière sélective la propulsion du train d'entraînement pendant au moins certains intervalles de temps au cours desquels le moteur à combustion interne ne fonctionne pas.
